Manjaro Cinnamon 0.8.10

I started using Manjaro Cinnamon 0.8.10, this morning, October 18^th 2014. The installation was a breeze using Manjaro's installer. It resembles the one Ubuntu uses, with a few minor differences. One of the things I don't like about it, is that it doesn't ID my location automatically. No biggie. On the other hand, it has an option which permits me to see my password when I'm keying it in. I like that. And the installation was fast.

I have two 120 Gig SSDs in my box on which I run Cinnamon and KDE. The install for both DEs went flawlessly, which is what I am accustomed to with every Manjaro desktop I tried. Manjaro has supported GPT and EFI since 0.8.8, if I'm not mistaken, so using EFI boot and GPT on my SSDs was no problem. Their wiki explains GPT & EFI, and how and why to use them on install, so I won't go into it here.

About Manjaro Linux

Some of you will have noticed that the subject of this blog has changed dramatically; it used to be about religion, specifically Christianity, but I've lost much of my interest in this subject in the past few months, and have decided to change the focus of this blog. Having said that, I know turn my attention to the primary subject, i.e., Manjaro Linux.

This Linux distribution (distro from now on) originated with three young men, as far as I know: Roland Singer, Guillaume Benoit & Philip Müller. These gentlemen, I believe, all hail from Europe, though I welcome being corrected if I'm wrong.
